Beginners typically prioritize comfort and ease of break-in. Pros look for responsiveness and speed, even in a size 6. A beginner will benefit from a forgiving ride and relaxed fit, while a pro will want a secure lockdown and a quicker feel. In both cases, verify the size 6 fit in the heel and midfoot.

Size 6 can be a good starting point for many women. Always try to stand and move in them to ensure toe box space and heel lockdown. If you have a wider foot or high arches, consider a half size up or different width if available. Check the retailer's size guide and return policy to confirm fit.

Yes, you can wear orthotics with Novablast in most cases. Test with your orthotic inserted and the insole removed to ensure proper space and support. If space feels tight, consider a half size up or a model with removable insole. Avoid forcing a poor fit, which risks blisters.
